That is what I was suggesting. A link on the download page to information about e-mail clients in a simple to understand way. For free e-mail clients that work well with OOo If you want something very similar to Outlook checkout... If you want a web mail client, check out.... What we need is something that counters the sales objection, not an argument about exactly how or what should be bundled with OOo. Turn a disadvantage into a strength. We can provide more flexibility to better meet your needs. > > Different types of email requirements require different types of email > > clients: > > * Evolution works for some individuals, and organizations.
